How do you set iphone4S to hear phone calls while playing videos

This is my first iphone but have used ipod touch for years.  What settings should I have to hear phone call rings while playing videos?

There is no setting for that on the phone. Some carriers provide ringback tones, which play instead of the caller hearing a ring. But I am not aware of an app that would play a message prior to you picking up the phone. The amount of time before you pick up is not a constant, and if it lasts too long, then the call would go to voicemail.

  • Phone call while recording video

    I realized yesterday that if I am recording a video and I receive an incoming call, my phone stops recording. Is there an option to hold all calls while recording video?

    Not that I ever heard of.
    Apple's stance is that it's primarily a phone, so those take priority over video recording.

  • How do you set a pre-recorded message to play when a caller calls your iPhone before you pick up?

    How do you set a pre-recorded message to play when a caller calls your iPhone before you pick up? My office is trying to use an iPhone for our business, and we want to give a brief introductory message that the caller will hear, before we pick up the line. Are there ay apps for this? Thanks!

  • How did you set up your spouses account?

    How did you set up your spouses iOS device, iCloud account, etc?  And what do you recommend? 
    My wife and I have one iMac we share (with two login accounts - so basically two computers), an iPad, and two iPhones.  Since there are certain things we really like to share between accounts (PhotoStream, Find My iPhone, Documents/iCloud Drive), we've shared the same master iCloud account for the last few years.  This has had some drawbacks with things we *don't* want to share, such as we now have to sync our Safari bookmarks, and our keychain/logins for personal websites sometimes overlap, or the "Recent Contacts" shows the last people my wife contacted, not mine, etc. 
    The pros have outweighed the cons, but it has always left me wanting.
    And now that things have changed a bit with iOS 8 and iCloud Drive, Handoff, and Family Plan. I figured now would be a good time to revisit our setup and what would work best for our family.  (Of course, this might be a bit premature, with the looming new Photos App from Apple coming, that might make us buy storage in iCloud, but if you have any forethoughts into that, I'd appreciate hearing them!)

    You may wish to look at alternatives to sharing the items you've been sharing. For example, you could use shared streams instead of my photo stream, in many ways it might be better, that way you share selected items rather than everything. You really don't need to share Find my phone, you can still use find my phone to find a device associated with any account if you sign in with that account, if you want to see where someone is find friends is a much better choice. You can also share links to iWork documents using iCloud document by document.

    How do you delete contacts from your phone for good without having it appear in the messages app?

    Hi tieyce,
    You need to hook up your iPhone, select it under Devices, and then go to the Photos tab on the Device Profile, and uncheck Sync Photos, then sync. That should delete all photos that were downloaded from your computer.
    When you say you have 2 separate albums of the same sets of pictures, what 2 albums are you referring to? Can you provide us with names of those "duplicate" albums?
